And let us also consider the Crusades and the Inquisition which took
place in Europe, the mid-east, and was brought to the new world, a
'war' whose principal victims were Muslims, Muslim women, Muslim
intellectuals, and also pagans, pagan women, pagen intellectuals, and
any and all Christians who did not follow the party line, including
writers and 'ordinary decent people'...

Considering the number of Christians now resident in all countries who
try to impose their one 'true' path to heaven on everyone else, this is
a war towards which no one who values critical thought, free speech and
democracy, can afford to be indifferent...

This is not simply a matter of 'the demonization of Christianity', but
of simply and honestly looking facts in the face, something that
Christians and their supporters are notoriously incapable of doing...

It can be predicted now that the main response of the Christian
community to my post will be to shout 'apostate', accuse me of every
kind of moral degeneracy, and leave the facts and arguments I 'adduce'
completely unaddressed....

...and the abject intellectual and moral poverty of Christianity, which
plunged the Western world into the Dark Ages, while the Islamic world
kept astronomical, mathematical, medicinal, and other sciences alive

Europe was excommunicating and condeming such scholars as Copernicus
and Da Vinci...
